  7. Assemble your snowflake bread in this order – dough – vegan butter – cinnamon sugar mix – dough – vegan butter – cinnamon sugar mix – dough – vegan butter – cinnamon sugar – dough.
  8. Place a glass in the middle of your dough and make an indentation, from the indentation create 16 sections. (If you need a visual explanation check out my Pesto Tarte Soleil video recipe)
  9. Using both your hands, twist two sections the opposite ways 2-3 times and press the ends together making a point. Repeat until you have 8 sections.
  10. Brush a little vegan butter on your star bread and sprinkle 1 tbsp of your cinnamon sugar mix.

What to do with the dough trimmings:

Okay, I’m not a fan of wasting food so with the dough trimmings I simply, used a star cookie cutter and cut of a bunch of little stars. I brushed them with a little vegan butter, sprinkled some cinnamon sugar mix and sandwiched them together.

Ingredients

Snowflake Bread Dough

  • 1/2 tbsp caster sugar
  • 7 g fast action dried yeast
  • 180 ml lukewarm non-dairy milk (I used Oat milk)
  • 60 g salted vegan butter (melted )
  • 320 g plain flour

Filling

  • 57 g salted vegan butter (softened )
  • 34 tbsp caster sugar
  • 23 tsp ground cinnamon

Dusting

  • icing sugar

Instructions

Snowflake Bread Dough

  1. In a bowl, combine your lukewarm non-dairy milk, caster sugar and instant yeast. Set aside for 5-10 minutes or until foamy.
  2. Mix in your melted vegan butter, then pour over your plain flour.
  3. Mix until everything is well combined, then transfer your dough onto a pre-floured surface. Knead for 10 minutes or until your dough is soft.
  4. Transfer your dough into a well-greased bowl, and grease the top of your dough with a little more vegan butter. Cover and set aside until doubled in size – around 1 hour.

Prepare Filling

  1. In a bowl, combine your cinnamon and sugar.

Assemble the Bread:

  1. Punch out the air in your dough, then divide your dough into 4.
  2. Roll your first section directly onto some parchment paper. To make it a perfect circle, just pop a 10-inch plate over your dough and trim off the excess.
  3. Leaving a slight border, spread around 1 tbsp of your vegan butter over that first layer, then sprinkle slightly more than 1 tbsp of the cinnamon-sugar mix.
  4. Roll out another piece of dough into a 10-inch circle on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin. Transfer the dough by placing your rolling pin in the middle and folding over your dough, lift and place over your first layer. If your dough isn't a perfect just trim off the edges. *check this blog post to see how I used all the excess dough.
  5. Spread your vegan butter and a little cinnamon sugar mix on top.
  6. Roll out the next dough piece, transfer, add vegan butter and cinnamon sugar mix.
  7. For the fourth dough, roll it out and transfer it the same way. But don't add your cinnamon sugar mix yet. (You should only have 1-2 tbsp of cinnamon sugar mix remaining and no vegan butter leftover).
  8. Using a cup, make a dent in the centre of your dough. Now from the dent, cut into 16 sections. (If you need a visual explanation check out my Pesto Tarte Soleil video recipe)

  9. Using both hands, pick up two sections and twist 2-3 times away from each other. Then press the ends together to make a point. Repeat until you have no sections left. Your star bread should have 8 sections.

  10. Brush 7g of melted vegan butter on your star bread, and sprinkle the remaining 1 tbsp of the cinnamon-sugar mix on top (focusing on the centre of your star bread). Cover your star bread with a tea towel, and set aside until doubled in size – around 1 hour.
